Captured by fearsome warriors from the far north, brought to their city and clasped in irons, your life is no longer your own. Here in these lands, only strength and guile count. Mighty warriors seek to claim glory while clans plot against each other in age old games of power and wealth, while mysterious priests meddle in the affairs of gods and men in equal measure. Can you survive in this hostile and foreign land? Will you win your freedom and return to your home?
People and Organizations
Clan af Dagr
A large and probably important clan in the city and the current owners of Lucia. As of yet, you know little of the clan or it's history, though it appears to hold sway over an entire district over the city and has ties to many other important clans.


Main Family

Lord Lífsteinn Bjornson af Dagr
A slightly chubby man with long, grey hair and beard, which show some errand strands of ash blond hair among them if you look closely enough. He is the current leader of the clan, but despite that seems to rarely be in the clanhold, instead spending most of his days on matters in the city. While looks alone might be deceiving, he appears to be not as martially inclined as his wife and eldest children, instead carrying himself with the air of a merchant or courtier.

Lady Ragnhildr Asriðrdottir af Dagr
The matriarch of the clan and the person who is usually in charge of the clanhold itself, commanding both the garrison and the servants. She is often seen in armored robes and ocassionally still trains with the warriors and especially her daughter Rannveig. Despite her lean stature, she is quite strong and her usual cold demeanor hides a fiery temper. Ever since the split in the family, she has taken up residence in the guest quarters of the hold, shunning he husbands presence and even refusing to share a table with him during meal times.

Stéfnir Lífsteinnson af Dagr
Eldest son of the Lord and as of recently his desired successor. He recently returned from a long and successful raid, bringing riches and glory with him. He outwardly pretends that nothing is wrong, but others whisper that he seems gloomy and withdrawn since the clash with his sister.

Randvér Lífsteinnson af Dagr
The second son, junior to Stéfnir by a year, and rather similar to him in both appearance and behavior. The two of them are inseparable since Stéfnirs return and they often make trips to the city together or can be found training in one of the yards.

Rannveig Lífsteinndottir af Dagr
Eldest child of the Lord af Dagr and as such, until recently, the Tanist of the clan. She had been groomed for the role since birth and when her father proclaimed his intention to make her brother Stéfnir his successor, she vocally object and declared a grudge against him over the matter. Now she plans to raid some place beyond the ocean to the west to prove herself. She is in many ways like her mother, though the cold shell she presents others is much thinner and she has a reputation to be easy to provoke.

Auðvin
Third son of the current Lord, but he became a Gothir in young years and has cut all ties with the clan. Apparently there was some row between the Lord and the Lady shortly before he left.

Nóri Lífsteinnson af Dagr
A young man and the youngest son of the Lady af Dagr, often considered the black sheep of the family. He is known to amuse himself by flaunting his ability to leave the hold whenever he pleases, no matter the orders of his parents, and is a known troublemaker all over the city. Especially the Gothra hold him in contempt for some event in years past. He also is known to be rather affectionate towards some of the female slaves, having allegedly sired a child on a stable hand named Irpa.

Dagr Hórason af Dagr
A young boy that the Lord had with a common whore, which is something nobody lets him forget by even naming him after his mothers profession. As a result, he is rather quiet and withdrawn, preferring to not draw the attention of his elder siblings.

Valgerðr and Undrlaug Lífsteinndottir af Dagr
The straw blond twins are the youngest children of the Lord. Their mother was his mistress Svafa, who died in child-bed. They mostly stay in the quarters of the family, where their wet nurse Halla takes care of them. The Lady outwardly is distant to the two, but rumor is that she can be rather affectionate towards them behind closed doors.


Slaves and Servants

Gunthar
The Seneschal of the clan and thus in charge of all slaves and servants of the household. Outwardly a friendly and unfailingly polite man, but most of the slaves fear him for his coldness. It's said that he his loyal to the main family above all else and that he would commit any atrocity willingly and happily, just to please them.

Nechtan
Head cook of the clanhold and in charge of the slaves in the kitchen. He can be rather demanding, though also often shows some genuine kindness to others. Above all else though, he tries to run the kitchen as tightly as possible, seeking to make his charges lives easier by keeping them out of trouble and the attention of Gunthar elsewhere.

Ingomer
A rather unpleasant woman, who is the only other in the kitchen besides Nechtan who speaks fluent Imperial. She is often derisive of others and seems to dislike you solely for being born in the Imperium, though she equally dislikes anyone of Northmen descend.
